Net Hero Podcast – With Sumit Bose

Wise-up with your water – with the multi award-winning experts at Water Plus

Join Jenny Collins, Key Account Manager and Susan Carstairs, TPI Business Development Manager, who were both part of the Big Zero Show 2023, as they outline key things to keep in mind when it comes to managing water better – and how thinking more about use and noting meter reads during a year, if the meter is safe to access, can help to lower energy use, lower running costs and reduce risks to supply interruptions on site pipes.
With sustainability more and more in the minds of businesses, large and small – looking at water use can also help cut carbon emissions too, reducing wider impacts for the planet.

NHP - Home, sweet net zero home!

Getting older often means downsizing, finding a retirement village or home. But what if it meant living a cleaner, greener, net zero life? Ian Holloway is co founder of Burnham Waters retirement village in Essex. It's a whole new concept for older life, with freehold eco homes complete with EV chargers and heat pumps, all set in plenty of countryside to offer a natural carbon sink. The homes are being built with one third of the emissions of standard built estates and with e-bikes, electric mini buses and AI powered street lighting, is it the cleanest future we can have? Listen to our chat and be inspired!  

NHP - Bigger and better Big Zero

Please listen in, as Sumit Bose looks back at and gives you a snapshot of what was discussed at The Big Zero Show 2023. Guests include Jon Butterworth from National Gas, Mayor of the Midlands Andy Street, green guru and founder of Good Energy, Juliet Davenport, Cordi O’Hara boss of National Grid  and many of the delegates who came to the show.

NHP - Total change in the air?

In the final podcast before our Big Zero Show Sumit Bose speaks with Mark Rose from TotalEnergies Gas and Power.
TotalEnergies is, like many of the gas majors, changing radically. It's setting net zero targets, divesting investments into renewable power and exploring green gas. 

NHP - Money for something - sustainable finance

Money. It's a gas. Grab that cash with both hands and make a stash...
Those famous lyrics now seem to have different connotation, for our net zero future. But can investing in the right net zero tech actually make you a stash like Pink Floyd said?
In this podcast I talk to Rebecca Howard from Coventry Building Society.  We discuss the green lending world and how making energy efficient spending commitments, could help you find funding in the future.
Will getting a loan or mortgage, one way be influenced by your carbon footprint? Listen in and remember, Rebecca is one of our speakers at the Big Zero Show on 20th June.

NHP - No more nuclear waste?

Nuclear energy is low carbon, the government has even said it's sustainable. It's a vital part of our net zero future but there is always one real issue, the waste.
There is no doubt nuclear fuel waste is an enormous problem but one man thinks he has the answer. Listen to my chat with Stefano Buono a former CERN scientist, who has set up a newcleo, a company which believes it can elmininate huge amounts of nuclear waste using fast lead reactor tech.
It would make nuclear easier to build, smaller, cut costs and of course make it much cleaner, so is it possible, or science fiction? Listen to find out.

NHP - Why a green business is good business

When it was not trendy to be green, Juliet Davenport had an idea. A commercial idea to make renewable power supply a reality for customers who cared. No one thought going green would be financially successful, yet it's now the way of the world.
I was delighted to speak to her about the journey, why she started it and how you too, can do good and still make money. She reveals the secrets in her new book The Green Start Up, copies of which she will sign after her session at the Big Zero Show.

NHP - Why hackers could halt your net zero ambitions!

This week on the podcast it's another one of our brilliant speakers at the Big Zero Show, Detective Superintendent Vanessa Eyles.
She tells me all about cybercrime and why hackers and criminals, see net zero as an opportunity. What can you do to protect your organisation, how can we keep safe and ensure your data, which is the new gold, is locked away?
We explore ransomware, how to deal with keeping your business and assets safe online and also where to get help for free, to make sure you are protected. It's a vital listen for all businesses.
